In which the summer is flying by, and the turkeys are not smarter

There are a few constants each summer at Haiku Farm.

The squash plants will always overrun every other crop in August

At least one dog will always be available to help with food harvesting

Sunflowers are always welcome

A riding day is better than any other kind of day

and

Turkeys will reliably make poor choices

I've been catching the turkeys on short videos for social media this year, and I figured I should share some of the "best of Two-Minute Turkey" here.  

Because really, who doesn't need a few minutes of turkeys? 

Here's a curated series.  Enjoy!

"What is Food?"

"Too Big to Perch"

"Snoods and Wattles"

"All Riled Up"

"Pea" is for "Playground"

"Turkeys in the Rain"

As for the rest of the farm:  

• We've finished the majority of domestic berry picking, but there are still enough strawberries, raspberries and blueberries to throw in our oatmeal each morning.  
• We're harvesting and canning beans right now. 
• We are just starting to get apples from the trees.  
• Blackberry harvest will start in earnest next week.  
• The squash harvest should be epic this year.
• The corn is...growing...slowly...it really didn't like our cold wet spring.  Neither did the plum trees.  
• The washing machine died, because of course it did.  We're telling the clothes dryer that the washer has "gone on holiday" because they are a bonded pair and we can't afford to buy another major appliance right now.
• I still really love my new job.

And barn chores in the morning still make me happy.

Feeding time.
